4.)Yes she did have unfair advantages selling your album for 99cents than having billboard alter the rules in your favor is UNFAIR.
5.)Yes, You know Interscope was paying for that payola. Why do you think Born This Way's AI was over 10 Million IN ONE DAY.
6.) Still an unfair advantage. Therefore you can't you use her 1 million first weeks sales in your failed arguments to degrade Rihanna or Katy when you know damn well Gaga would've never done that by herself. As far as singles, Discounts & Remixes are for #1's not sales. #1's do nothing for album sales. Everyone knows this. Otherwise Cannibal wouldn't have underperformed like it did.

1. TD is Katy's second album too
It's because Lady Gaga was on tour and wouldn't have time to release it properly and give it the attention it deserves. So that's why she spoke about it (aka hyping)... But other artists (who do not compose their work themselves) of course can not do that because they only have what the label gives them. This is the way it is sadly, unless you learn them songwriting and composing music

2. Post the email.
Those things never happened. Provide receipts for your false tea.
3. You are walking away from the argument. You said Gaga payola and BTW was smashing on radio but the rest somehow fails (Judas)... Yeah right. Like Interscope would only spend money for BTW (song)? Gaga has a big budget you know? :angelo. Judas radio chartrun proves that she doesn't have payola - Interscope just lined BTW song up to radios on time and set premier and all... Judas was rushed...
4. You are clearly wrong here. It is actually about
NOT changing the rules.

5. See 3.
6. Without Amazon it outsold anyway and would do now too cuz there would be more customers instead of the frontload + now bigger drop. Argument invalid.
Yes, discounts are for #1 (PEAKS) and for SALES (OF THE SINGLES) too. Because they can say like I sold 2M of Only Girl while it was $0.69. Compare that to 2M or another track at $1.29. Nice that Rihanna gets her peaks and her records on BB Hot 100. But the downside is that she doesn't make Forbes.
True, if #1 would mean your album would sell 1M, Katy would be at 4M already but she's not. Such a shame. But still, it's the singles department and there shouldn't be cheating there too
